Our proposal aims at microscopic investigation of magnetism of the novel copper-based low-dimensional spin system CuNCN, the first compound with a pure nitride environment of...

Along with the titanate and stannate materials, Gadolinium Zirconate, Gd2Zr2O7, makes up a series of model pyrochlore systems characterized by a Heisenberg antiferromagnetic...

This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-stateconfigurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen in...

In order to meet the UK's commitment to reduce 80% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is necessary make major advances in efficient, clean and secure energy conversion and...

The mineral Libethenite, Cu2PO4OH, is an ideal system in which to study low dimensional quantum magnetism. The spin-gapped nature of this material has been the subject of...

During our previous experiment on HiFi (RB1320541) we measured the ALC spectrum of the Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2 model hydrogenase complex over multiple temperatures. The spectra...

Muon spin relaxation is a remarkably powerful tool for discovering magnetic order in quasi-one-dimensional magnetic chain compounds, particularly when the weak interchain...

Cubic double perovskites provide a rare example of an undistorted face-centred cubic lattice, made up of edge sharing regular tetrahedra. In Ba2MnWO6, antiferromagnetically...

Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which...

In this continuation proposal we will conclude our muon study of FeCrAs, a recently re-examined material that displays many of the above characteristics, suggesting that it is a...

This year Nobel Prize award to the discovery of graphene has evidenced the relevance of this material, which has outstanding physical properties and promising technological...

Our uSR measurements on superconducting Y1-xErxNi2B2C shows a slowing of the Er spin dynamics upon cooling to 2.5 K, but the depolarisation rate does not critically diverge and...

Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is a powerful technique for studying free radicals and their reaction kinetics, but it has not yet been used to study complex reactions in...

In most unconventional superconductors, the importance of antiferromagnetic fluctuations is widely acknowledged. In addition, cuprate and iron-pnictide superconductors often...

In rare-earth containing metals, there is a strong competition between the tendency of these systems to magnetically order or form a superconducting state, mirroring in many...

Magnetic properties of graphitic compounds are of current interest for both theoretical and experimental research in the fields of condensed matter physics and magnetism. In the...

The members of the series ACrO2 (where A=Li, Na, K) comprise well-decoupled, highly ideal triangular planes containing isotropic spins. While the A=Li and Na materials have been...

This proposal describes an in situ muSR experiment on a hydrogen storage material, MgH2. This is because MgH2 attracts a special attention due to the fact that the hydrogen...

In some materials, the onset of superconductivity is accompanied by the spontaneous appearance of small magnetic fields. This is a signature of broken time-reversal-symmetry...

This proposal plans to investigate the destruction of superconductivity by inter-band scattering in Lu_2Fe_3Si_5 doped by Y and Dy. Recent muon spin rotation studies have shown...
